And others will live on the street and they will suck dick to make money so they can spend it on drugs.

Yeah, that's definitely not how I roll.

Yeah.

So is it because these kids are exposed to more trauma and they need to escape and the drugs help them do that?

Somehow the drugs are sneaking in.

And they're more accessible.

Well, I think there are probably some genetic factors that are just, you're predisposed to just struggle in life.

You're just, things are not going to, you're not going to, like I had to work hard.

I'm sure you had to work really hard to get where you are.

lost right then you lose hope yeah i don't know how you look at all that all day it's hard but i don't pay attention all the time either yeah that's that's that's really the key because otherwise i couldn't do it what do you do when because obviously a lot of these i call them kids but they're not all kids because they're hustling right what do you do with those who try to work you

Though I've gotten very good at recognizing hustles.

Early on, I got played a lot.

I would see somebody who had potential, and he was just on the street, so you just need to stop doing the drug, dude.
